Tim Dodson - so when you switched to boater there were enough cos to match up with you - so you were able to fish? If so maybe better to just register as a co and hope for the best?

Brian Barde - my son loves fishing the neko rig - he destroys me on it! I really like fishing it, but dont see the success he does even though we use the same setups. Must be something he "has" that I dont about the way he fishes it!

I don't want to fish with Brian because I want to try and steal secrets or uncover any of his fishing spots. I want to fish with Brian because I want to learn how to be a better angler.

Specifically, I want to learn "how" to fish certain techniques the right way - I learn best by watching/doing but struggle to see success with what I watch online and apply myself. I need someone to show me in person and correct what I'm doing wrong.

Ultimately, this isn't about me though, I spend time as a "student" of the sport so I can teach my son how to catch more fish - which is something we enjoy doing together!

Do you ever like to put a nail weight in it (which of course makes it a neko) or do you just prefer to fish it without?
